Sentir-se amado por Deus

"It is intriguing to speculate that Jesus’ fundamental saving act may have been not dying on the cross but rather accepting God’s love as much as it is humanly possible to do. Then the following of Christ might mean not so much doing heroic deeds, or even wanting to love as Jesus loves, but much more fundamentally desiring to let oneself be loved as much as Jesus was and is loved. Perhaps the world will be saved when there is a critical mass of people who deeply believe and experience how much God loves them."

This reflection is from Here's My Heart, Here's My Hand by William Barry.
